People don't "own" each other. OK, so maybe disgusting was too strong a word. But that certainly sounds controlling. Not an attitude I could be interested in. I don't want to be "owned" nor do I want to "own."

Odd. Most people believe in taking care of those things they own, so by "owning" someone, and feeling responsibility for the person, you show that you care about that person.

But I guess feeling responsible for someone else is passe.

Does a Husband own his Wife?

HEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLL NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

I prefer to think of myself as a wild mustang horse that can never be tamed or owned by anyone.

"Does a husband own his wife." Well I say about as much as his wife owns him. And if they r happy with it I am too. I don't think taking a man's name is an indication of ownership. I see it more as a gift to symbolize the union and partnership between a husband and a wife. I mean it is mutual, a joint venture.

not at all. just her credit card debts and the college loans and car payments on her kids.
if he owned her she would feel a sense of obligation, and trust me she does not, none whatsoever.
thanks gloria stienem, you changed it from quid pro quo to caveat emptor.

I would guess that the OP would prefer to take separate cars on a trip together. So she can go her way, and he his way, without learning to go the same way.

If ownership means all of the above, it maybe worth rethinking I can be had... but he's got to pay

here is a great example of a husband "owning a wife"
my optician got taken to the cleaners in 2008.
not a bad take, 2 condos for less than 2 years marriage.
no kids fortunately.
his sin?
he refused to pay his sister in laws mortgage and be servant to his
mother in law

Where does all this come from? Is it personal experience? Have you been cleaned out by a woman? If so, maybe you chose the wrong woman. I don't need your or any man's money.
